Additional scroll styles
Can you please implement also additional different ways of displaying Artist, Title or Album information longer than the screen width? Scrolling letter by letter doesn't look too nice on slow displays. Another way would be to simply wrap the text in chunks smaller than the screen width and flip through the lines.
I also had this in my mind, but stopped thinking on it while I encountered the problem, if the whole text is still more than the available space. What would you do then?
We have 3 lines available on a 4 line display to display for example this:
David Bowie: The
Rise and Fall of
Ziggy Stardust and
the Spiders from
Mars - Moonage
Daydream
(I breaked the lines for 20 char width)
my suggestion meant to say that you still keep all artist info in the second line, and album on second and title on third. you just spend 2 sec displaying the first line of title ("the rise and fall") then 2 sec on the second line ("of ziggy stardust") and so on.
Your idea of breaking "Artist: Album - Title" over three lines is also very appealing (and novel, methinks). A total text of more than 3 lines would then have to scroll vertically.
